Enlightening Quote by Jonathan Anderson

“I always love to look at something that I couldn't make, because I feel it's enlightening. It means you are not invincible: you can respect something and look up to it and go, 'Wow!' It's a skill that I don't have, but I can understand the merit of it.” quote by Jonathan Anderson
